Researchers have developed an agentic self-driving laboratory (SDL) designed to accelerate scientific discovery by addressing bottlenecks in the experimental validation process. This system employs a prior-aware agentic design of experiments (DOE) loop to intelligently select informative experiments based on domain knowledge and past results, thereby reducing the number of trials needed to reach a target. Additionally, a cost-aware surrogate agent predicts high-cost measurements from lower-cost ones, deciding whether to perform a high- or low-resolution measurement to optimize experimental costs. These integrated components aim to speed up the SDL loop by minimizing both the number of experimental rounds and the expense per experiment, with applications demonstrated in biology and materials science.
